Device has only 1 LAN port is it possible to set it to full gigabit speed or is it a hardware limitation?
(using CAT5e cable)

Install ethtool and query the port (eth0 or eth1)

This device? https://openwrt.org/toh/hwdata/comfast/comfast_cf-wr758ac_v1

That's a MT7628AN SoC. Not too powerful and 100M ethernet only.

Yes that is it, but swconfig returns:
link: port:6 link:up speed:1000baseT full-duplex
link: port:4 link:up speed:100baseT full-duplex

And in LuCI it shows 1000baseT full-duplex

That should be cpu virtual port

I see one-hundred (100), not one-thousand. That's your PHY LAN port. It's 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet.
